Hi,

In case you haven't already found these on the class WWW page, some of
the most useful links for your project research are:

http://www-sgc.colorado.edu/~siewerts/robotics/robotics.html
http://www-sgc.colorado.edu/~siewerts/ecen/hardware/hardware.html
http://www-sgc.colorado.edu/~siewerts/chipsets/chipsets.html
http://www-sgc.colorado.edu/~siewerts/ecen/hardware/pdf/

Some good OWI-007 links on the robotics pages and ideas for sensor placement,
etc. related to 5-DOF arm.

The PDF page has specs for chipsets used in video/peak-up and VoIP projects.

Note the NCD PDF file which lists the "SCAM" ASIC, NCD209, the RS232
multi-drop hobby servo controller chip - for those doing peak-up
projects.

You may want to order from NCD ASAP - cost is relatively low, but it
may take a week or more to get these types of parts.  I have one system
in the lab also.

If you find a good link that I should add to the class WWW page - please forward it to me!

Thanks!

Sam
